.1 Virtual Technician (PIANO)

1. Voicing

This parameter attempts to recreate the technique of adjusting the action, hammers and strings of an acoustic piano, allowing the

tonal character and dynamics of the MP10’s piano sounds to be dramatically enhanced.



Voicing t ypes

Voicing Type Description

Normal Produces the normal tone of an acoustic piano throughout the entire dynamic range.

Mellow 1/2 Reproduces the eect of a softer hammer surface for a mellower tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

Dynamic This setting is not possible with an acoustic piano. Softly played notes will have the tone of a mellow voicing

while notes played harder will have the tone of a bright voicing. This setting produces a dramatic change from

mellow to bright throughout the entire dynamic range.

Bright 1/2 Produces a brighter tone throughout the entire dynamic range.

2. Stereo Width

This parameter adjusts the width of the stereo sound.

3. String Resonance

This parameter adjusts the volume of the string resonance.

String Resonance refers to a phenomenon that exists in acoustic pianos

whereby the strings of held notes resonate ‘sympathetically’ with other

notes of the same harmonic series.

4. Damper Resonance

This parameter adjusts the volume of the damper resonance.

Depressing the damper pedal of an acoustic piano raises all dampers,

allowing the strings to vibrate freely. When a note or chord is played on

the piano with the sustain pedal depressed, not only will the strings of

the notes played vibrate, but also the strings of other notes, vibrating in

sympathetic resonance.

5. Key-o Eect

This parameter adjusts the volume of the key-o eect.

When playing an acoustic piano - particularly in the bass region of the

keyboard - if a key is played with force and released quickly, it is often

possible to hear the faint sound of the damper touching the strings

immediately before the vibrations are stopped.

6. Damper Noise

This parameter adjusts the volume of the damper noise.

When the damper pedal is depressed and released, it is often possible to

hear the sound of the damper head touching and releasing the strings.

7. Hammer Delay

This parameter adjusts the delay of the hammer striking the

string when playing with pianissimo.

8. Fall-back Noise

This parameter adjusts the volume of the noise heard when the

keyboard action ‘falls back’ after a key is released.

9. Brilliance

This parameter adjusts the overall brightness of the piano

sound independently of the Voicing parameter.
